Demonstrating the Feasibility of an Economic Empowerment and Health Promotion Intervention among Low-Income Women Affected by HIV in New York City.

Women of color in the U.S. face systematic exclusion from the labor market, work protections, and employer-based benefits. Women's economic vulnerability increases their susceptibility to health-related issues, including HIV transmission and substance use, which are work-restricting disabilities, by constraining their capacity to effectively reduce risk. The Women's Economic Empowerment pilot examined the feasibility of a structural intervention, implemented at a neighborhood agency, combining both health promotion and economic empowerment components as a pathway to accessing an urban job mark…

Study protocol for a randomised controlled trial of a web-based behavioural lifestyle programme for emPOWERment in early Multiple Sclerosis (POWER@MS1).

INTRODUCTION: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory and degenerative disease of the central nervous system that mainly affects young adults. Uncertainty is a major psychological burden of the disease from diagnosis to prognosis, enhanced by the pressure to make early decisions on a diverse set of immunotherapies. Watchful waiting for 1-2 years while adapting goals and lifestyle habits to life with a chronic disease represents another reasonable option for persons with MS (PwMS). A behaviour change programme based on evidence-based patient information (EBPI) is not available in standard ca

Women's empowerment was measured using the SWPER Global Index, which covers the domains of attitude towa…

Economic Empowerment Interventions on Mental Health Outcomes Among People Living with HIV in Low and Middle-Income Countries: A Systematic Literature Review.

There is strong evidence of the correlation between economic hardship and poor mental health outcomes among people living with HIV (PLHIV). However, the causal efficacy and mechanisms of specific economic interventions through which they contribute to mental health improvement among PLHIV remain fragmented and inconsistent. This systematic review aims to collate and synthesize existing evidence on the effect of economic empowerment interventions on mental health symptoms among PLHIV in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We conducted a comprehensive literature review that adhered to the …

Women's empowerment and intimate partner violence among pregnant women in Northern Ghana: evidence from coarsened exact matching and double-selection LASSO analyses.

BACKGROUND: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a major public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa. Its relationship with women's empowerment is theoretically contested, and most studies collapse empowerment into a single composite score, which may mask dimension-specific associations. We examined three empowerment dimensions including reproductive autonomy, household decision-making, and economic empowerment against physical, sexual, and emotional IPV among pregnant women in Northern Ghana. METHODS: We surveyed 260 pregnant women attending antenatal care (April-May 2023). Coarsened Exact Mat…
